THE
WINTER BLANKET
Actors and Actresses |
||||||
| The
Winter Blanket's new full-length Actors and Actresses finds the
band working with a new sense of confidence. A band that once was so quick
to admit their influences has now created a unique, mature identity of their
own. The Winter Blanket has retained their beautiful minimalism while expanding
their dynamic intensity and opening up to a more mature vocal delivery.
Lyrically, "Actors and Actresses" is concerned with avoiding the
pitfalls of adulthood while searching for an honest face in the crowd. Red
House Painters and Nick Drake fans will be impressed
by The Winter Blanket's unique mix of minimalist pop with singer-songwriter
sensibilities. The Winter Blanket's home base of Illinois is a window with
which they view the full spectrum of the seasons. This natural change reflects
the well-rounded feelings and perspectives in their music. |

PRESS "The Winter Blanket have come into their own sound with not much as a reference point anymore. Sweet guy/girl vocals with string accents and solidly crafted music, vocals and lyrics this time around. It seems that The Winter Blanket will become a reference point now." - Bees Knees "A perfect name, and a truly moving album, The Winter Blanket rolls cold over you, and soft, white, sparse, it warms you and comforts. Reminiscent of bands like Low and The Red House Painters, with sometimes a little Galaxie 500-dreaminess seeping in." - The Big Takeover " Actors and Actresses is warm, accessible chamber pop, with just enough dissonance and feedback to make it interesting. Its theme —centered around artificiality, role-playing, the whole "all the world's a stage idea — is set into stark contrast with the absolute honesty of the music." - Splendid |
